It’s Time to Give Thanks—and Celebrate!

This is the season to reflect on all the things we’re grateful for and to think about how we can help others. One of the best ways to make a difference is by participating in the Seattle Polish Foundation fundraisers. The next event, Giving Tuesday, takes place on December 2, and this year we’ll be raising funds for Polish cultural events in Seattle. If you remember Janusz Olejniczak’s concert years ago, you’ll agree that an event of such caliber is long overdue. With your support, it could happen again soon.

I tyle moich pragnień i planów
Ambiwalencja przenika wciąż
W miejskiego ranka smutnej szarości
W miejskiego ranka leciutkiej mgle
Tyle ogarnia mnie wątpliwości
Ale na pewno wiem jedno, że

1984 – George Orwell

Most of us recall the iconic Apple Macintosh advertisement from the 1984 Super Bowl. It left a lasting impression at the time and continues to resonate today.
